Our Mission

Preserving Heritage Through the Power of Movement.

Our mission is to ensure that Sudanese dance across its many regions, styles, and histories is not lost to displacement, war, or erasure, but is uplifted and carried forward for future generations. Through performances, workshops, storytelling, and intergenerational exchange, we honor our elders, engage our youth, and connect with broader communities in the diaspora and beyond.
